OFFICIALS from the National Union of Journalists are to brief MPs at Westminster tomorrow on proposed job cuts at the Herald group of newspapers – the fourth round of redundancies in five years, with – it is understood – some 20 editorial posts facing the axe and a further 20 in non-editorial.
The NUJ will seek to argue that Scottish jobs are being lost to keep returns high for the owners' US shareholders and that the plurality of debate in Scotland is at risk should content in the papers be reduced – in terms of both quantity and quality.
The group comprises The Herald, the Sunday Herald, the Evening Times and a magazines division.


The US is one of the few countries to tax their citizens not on their US residency status but on their citizenship. This means that US citizens (and Green Card holders) living outside of the US are still required to file an annual US tax return with the IRS.
The annual filing obligation is required even if a US citizen has little or no US source income and ultimately there is minimal or no US tax on the tax return and can therefore be more of an administrative requirement that comes with US citizenship as filing.
Nonetheless there can be hefty penalties for non compliance with many of the penalty regimes being compliance and not tax based.
As well as the tax return filing obligation there are other potential filing requirements for the US citizen. One of the most common of these is the Report of Foreign Bank Account, FinCEN Form 114.
U.S. citizens, residents and certain other U.S. persons must annually report their direct or indirect financial interest in, or signature authority over, a financial account that is maintained with a financial institution located in a foreign country (ie: outside of the U.S.) if, for any calendar year, the aggregate value of all foreign accounts exceeded USD $10,000 at any time during the year.
For more information about the FinCEN 114, Report of Foreign Bank Account please click here.
The IRS has conducted 2 initiatives over the last couple of years known as "Offshore Voluntary Disclosure" programs. Aimed non compliant US citizens, they were "designed to bring offshore money back into the US tax system and to help people with undisclosed income from hidden offshore accounts get current with their taxes".
In June 2012, the IRS announced a streamlined procedure specifically for those cases with a low compliance risk. While this streamlined procedure does not replace other IRS programs, it does appear to offer a less draconian avenue for low risk compliance cases to come up to date. If you are delinquent with your US filings and would like to get up to date please contact us.
The interaction of the UK and US tax also needs careful handling, and the application of the UK/US tax treaty is often important. There may even be a third jurisdiction to bear in mind in terms of establishing taxing rights and claiming appropriate foreign tax credits, where the source of income arises outside both the UK and the US.
Having your US and your UK returns prepared by the same preparer can help to keep compliance costs down as well as well as being less time consuming for you.
Please contact us to speak to an adviser about UK and US tax assistance.


I describe exactly how to do colonic massage in Listen To Your Gut – however, video shows you this marvelous, yet simple technique far better than words can.
Great article – thanks for that Ashley. In my DVD for Colicky Babies – Baby Fart Aerobics – http://www.colicinfant.com I recommend that both the breastfeeding mother and the baby take probiotics. With infants though, it's really important to ONLY give them the species B. infantis – and not any of the adult species of bacteria. Thanks again for passing this on!

Q: 1950s or earlier book with electrical currents living on Pluto My first sci-fi book I ever read was in the early 1950's in Europe (probably 1952) and it had 10 stories about a different form of life on every planet, including the sun. All I can really remember is that the life on the sun was organized plasma streams on the sun's outer layers, and the life on Pluto was permanent electrical currents within lakes of liquid helium on the planet's surface. Very imaginative at the time.

A: That is Flight into Space edited by Don Wollheim and published in 1950 by Frederick Fell.
It's subtitled "Great Science-Fiction Stories of Interplanetary Travel" and just as you describe, has a story for the Sun, all nine planets, the Moon and the asteroids.  The Sun creatures (in Sunward by Stanton A. Coblentz) are as you said, but the Plutonians (The Rape of the Solar System by Leslie F. Stone) were not -- in that story Pluto was located closer to the Sun until a war with Mars hurtled it outwards.

Big Blue performed as expected this time, edging deeper into growth markets such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Cloud computing and mobile devices, two of IBM's core markets nowadays. Image source: IBM.
IBM (NYSE:IBM) reported second-quarter results after the closing bell on Monday, July 18. The numbers were close enough to management's internal forecasts that there was no need to adjust full-year guidance targets.
The cyclical nature of big-iron systems sales cut into IBM's revenue in the second quarter. The remaining business segments held steady, albeit with unstable gross margins in some cases.
Sales in the cognitive solutions division rose 3.5% year over year to $4.7 billion, but gross margin fell 3.5 percentage points to 82.2%.
Businesses under the strategic imperatives banner saw sales rising 12% to $8.3 billion, led by a 43% surge in mobile products revenue and 30% higher cloud sales. This is not a reportable segment of its own, but baked into three of IBM's traditional divisions and IBM provides a line item in its report for strategic imperatives.
Systems sales decreased 23% to $2.0 billion, as interest in the next-generation IBM Enterprise Cloud System product line cooled down. Introduced in the spring of 2014, these systems drove IBM's mainframe server sales 9% higher in the year-ago quarter, making for a difficult annual comparison.
Looking ahead, IBM's management reiterated full-year guidance for operating earnings of at least $13.50 per share. This figure backs out acquisition-related costs and retirement charges. Without these adjustments, GAAP earnings should exceed $12.23 per diluted share in 2016.
"IBM continues to establish itself as the leading cognitive solutions and cloud platform company," said IBM CEO Ginni Rometty in a prepared statement. "In the second quarter we delivered double-digit revenue growth in our strategic imperatives, driven by innovations in areas such as analytics, security, cloud video services and Watson Health, all powered by the IBM Cloud and differentiated by industry."
As IBM reshapes itself into the cloud and artificial intelligence leader that Rometty outlined, the company absolutely needs its strategic imperatives businesses to shine. They are doing that so far, with the exception of modest growth in the included data analytics operations.
Those crucial operations accounted for 41% of IBM's total revenues in the second quarter, up from 36% in the year-ago period.

Q: In a $10$-member family, what is the probability that the birthdays of the members include all seven days of the week? Is my solution for the following textbook problem correct?

In a 10-member family, what is the probability that the birthdays of the members include all seven days of the week?

My solution:

All possible combinations are equal to $7^{10}$, which is akin to the problem of distributing $10$ different objects into 10 distinct boxes with repetitive objects allowed.
Now, we select $7$ objects (i.e., people) ${10 \choose 7}$, put them in the boxes (i.e., days) so that we have at least one birthday on each day. Accounting for  internal permutation, we have ${10 \choose 7}\cdot7!$
Three objects are left. These could be put in the same box or in different boxes. We break down the possibilities:

*

*All three in different boxes. We have $7$ choices for the first object, $6$ for the seven and $5$ for the third. In other words,  ${7 \choose 1}\cdot {6 \choose 1}\cdot {5 \choose 1}$. Now, we have three $2$-member boxes each having a $2!$ internal permutation. Hence, we have

  $$\frac{{7 \choose 1}\cdot {6 \choose 1}\cdot {5 \choose 1}}{2!\cdot2!\cdot2!}$$

*

*Two  in the same box. We choose a pair put them in any of the seven boxes and there's six choices for the remaining object. Again, factoring in repeated cases, we get

  $$\frac{{3 \choose 2}\cdot {7 \choose 1}\cdot {6 \choose 1}}{3!\cdot2!}$$

*

*All three one the same  day. This is easy: $$ \frac{{7 \choose 1}}{4!}$$

  Now, employing the rule of sum (since the above cases are mutually exclusive), we compute the probability
$$ \frac {{10 \choose 7} \cdot 7! \cdot  [\frac{{7 \choose 1}\cdot {6 \choose 1}\cdot {5 \choose 1}}{2!\cdot2!\cdot2!} + \frac{{3 \choose 2}\cdot {7 \choose 1}\cdot {6 \choose 1}}{3!\cdot2!} +\frac{{7 \choose 1}}{4!}]} {7^{10}} $$
   which is almost $0.08$.

Also, can you think of a better, more systematic (or perhaps general) solution for the above problem? I suspect there's one and that this could be done through computing the complement cases. I have been trying to no avail. I can't eliminate repetitive distributions.
Update: Thanks for the replies gentlemen. All were very helpful. Case closed.

A: It's very nearly right. The only issue is that when you divide out to account for counting a particular combination multiple times, you don't need the factorials. So that means case 2, say, should be $$\frac{\binom 32\binom 71\binom 61}{3\times2}.$$ This is because when counting combinations where three people have birthdays on Monday and two have birthdays on Saturday, say, there are $3\times 2$ ways to choose your initial seven people who cover all the days, not $3!\times 2!$.
Making this change will give you just over $10\%$. A more general way to do it is to use the inclusion-exclusion principle. The number of ways to miss out at least one day is $$\binom71\times6^{10}-\binom 72\times5^{10}+\binom 73\times4^{10}-\binom 74\times3^{10}+\binom 75\times2^{10}-\binom 76\times1^{10},$$
so we can subtract this from $7^{10}$ to get the number of ways to cover all days.

A: We may label any configuration with a function from $[1,10]$ to $[1,7]$. There are $7^{10}$ functions between these sets, and $7!{10\brace 7}$ of them are surjective, with ${10 \brace 7}=5880$ being a Stirling number of the second kind. The wanted probability is so
$$ \frac{7!{10\brace 7}}{7^{10}}=\frac{86400}{823543}\approx \color{red}{10.49\%}. $$

A: Not quite.  Selecting 7 people and giving them a distinct day, then distributing the remaining 3 over those seven days, over counts many common cases.  You don't have mutually exclusion so cannot employ the rule of sum.
(Assigning Mary to Monday, six other people for the rest of the week, then assigning Tom, Dick, and Hellen to Monday, is the same event as assigning Hellen to Monday, the same six other people to the rest of the week, then Tom, Dick, and Mary to Monday, and so on.)

We want to select days for ten people such that each day is selected at least once.
We can select

*

*One day common to four people, one day for each of the six other people. $$\binom7 {1,6}\binom {10}{4,1,1,1,1,1,1}$$

*One day common to three people, one day common to two, one for each of five others. $$\binom{7}{1,1,5}\binom{10}{3,2,1,1,1,1,1}$$

*Three days each common to two people, one day for each of the four others $$\binom {7}{3,4}\binom{10}{2,2,2,1,1,1,1}$$

So the required probability is $$\dfrac{7!\,10!}{7^{10}}\left(\dfrac{1}{6!\,4!}+\dfrac{1}{5!\,3!\,2!}+\dfrac{1}{3!\,4!\,2!^3}\right)\\~\\= \dfrac{86400}{823543}\\~\\\approx 0.104{\small 9}$$
Which agrees with Jack D'Aurizio's answer (as this approach is along the path to introducing Stirling numbers).


In today's tough economic times, more and more companies are finding themselves unable to meet their financial obligations and pay their debts. The ripple effect is being felt throughout the commercial world, in particular by those who do business with these struggling entities. Suppose a manufacturer or a distributor sells goods to a buyer on credit and subsequently learns that the buyer is insolvent and may not be able to pay the invoice when it comes due. Even worse, suppose the seller delivers the goods to the buyer and the buyer then files for bankruptcy. Can the seller reclaim its goods?
Fear not, the sellers of goods to financially distressed buyers do have rights should their buyers be unable to pay their debts or file bankruptcy. In addition to the right of replevin (an article for another day), a seller of the goods has the right to reclamation provided the seller acts quickly. Reclamation is a seller's right to require an insolvent buyer to return goods purchased on credit. This remedy can prevent the seller from suffering a huge loss due to the buyer's inability to pay for the goods. In one recent case in South Florida, a cabinet maker demanded reclamation of over $52,000.00 of cabinets sold to an insolvent developer.
The process to preserve the right of reclamation differs depending on whether the buyer has filed for bankruptcy or not. Outside of bankruptcy, a seller's right of reclamation arises under Section 2-702 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC"). Section 2-702 of the UCC provides several remedies to a seller. First, if the seller discovers that the buyer is insolvent, the seller may refuse to deliver any further goods unless cash payment is received for all goods previously delivered under a contract. Second, if a seller discovers that a buyer has received goods on credit while insolvent, the seller may reclaim the goods upon written demand. It is critical that the written demand be made within 10 days of the buyer's receipt of the goods. There is only one exception to the 10-day time bar. This ten-day time limit does not apply if the buyer has made a written misrepresentation of solvency (generally a false financial statement) to the seller in writing within three months before delivery of the goods. Once the seller serves the reclamation notice, if the buyer does not agree to return the goods, the seller must file a civil action in order to enforce its right.
If the buyer is in bankruptcy, then the procedure changes. Reclamation in a bankruptcy proceeding is governed by 11 U.S.C. §546(c). Section 546(c) provides that the seller may recover the goods sold to a buyer within 45 days of the buyer's bankruptcy petition if the buyer has received the goods while insolvent. In bankruptcy, a debtor is presumed to be insolvent 90 days before the date the debtor files his petition in bankruptcy. In order to preserve the right of reclamation in bankruptcy, the seller must serve written notice within 45 days after receipt of the goods by the debtor, or within 20 days after the case is filed if the 45-day period expires after the commencement of the bankruptcy case. If the seller fails to give the debtor written notice within the required time periods, the seller loses the right to reclamation under Section 546(c).
Where the seller has given written notice to the debtor timely, the bankruptcy court may direct the buyer to return the goods to the seller, direct the buyer to immediately pay for the goods, grant the seller a security interest in the buyer's assets to secure payment of the claim, or grant the seller an Administrative Claim which grants a priority in payment in the bankruptcy process. It should be noted that the rights of sellers to reclamation are dependent on the buyer still having possession of the goods. If the buyer has already sold the goods to a third party, the seller may have lost the right of reclamation since the claims of a seller are subject to those of a buyer in the ordinary course of business.
It should also be noted that a secured creditor is usually deemed a buyer in the ordinary course of business. If the buyer has a secured lender to whom the buyer has granted a broad lien on all inventory, the seller's reclamation right will be subordinate to the rights of that lender. Although the seller may still have reclamation rights, prior to exercising those rights it may be necessary to satisfy the secured lender's lien. Under these circumstances, there is a high likelihood that the value of the lien will exceed the value of the goods, rendering the right of reclamation meaningless.
So what happens if the seller misses the deadline or its claim is subject to that of a secured creditor? Is there any other remedy? If the seller fails to timely provide a notice of reclamation, the seller loses its rights to reclamation of the goods, however it may still assert replevin rights or, in the case of a bankruptcy, the rights contained in section 503(b)(9) of Chapter 11. These rights may also be asserted should a large secured lien render the right to reclamation meaningless. Section 503(b)(9) provides that a seller who sell goods in the ordinary course of business to a buyer in the 20 days before the date of commencement of a bankruptcy case is entitled to an administrative priority equal to the value of the goods sold. An administrative priority is the highest preference given to an unsecured claim in a bankruptcy case, although the claim is still inferior to the claims of secured creditors. While not as favorable as receiving the return of the goods, this remedy will likely provide some level of priority and reimbursement to a seller as it will place the seller's claim higher in priority to that of other unsecured creditors.
The bottom line for a seller who wants the right to reclaim goods delivered to an insolvent buyer is to act quickly as a seller is faced with a relatively short time deadline under both the UCC and the Bankruptcy Code to assert its reclamation rights. If there is any doubt regarding the solvency of the buyer, contact an attorney to make sure that you secure your legal rights and act on them accordingly. An attorney can properly counsel you regarding the proper form for a reclamation notice and can assure that you don't inadvertently waive your rights.

Canadians who attend the World Cup and Olympics in Brazil over the next two years may return home with more than just fond memories of the momentous sporting events, a new multi-national study suggests.
Data on past visitors to the South American country suggest the flood of foreign sports enthusiasts will bring back cases of malaria, dengue fever, nasty skin conditions and other maladies from a region that is home to an array of unpleasant infectious disease.
Thousands of Canadians head yearly to destinations like southeast Asia and India that have similar infectious-disease profiles. But fans who fly to Brazil over the next two months for the Cup or in 2016 for the Olympics may not be the kind of cautious travellers who would automatically think to guard against malarial mosquitos, tainted water and other threats, he noted.
The good news is that the infection risks are largely preventable if fans get vaccinated where appropriate and take other simple precautions, he said. That might even include packing condoms for potential encounters in a country of "beautiful people" and relatively widespread HIV.
"You're not going to New York. You have to think of health issues," said Dr. Keystone.
Representatives of the Brazil embassy in Ottawa could not be reached for comment on the research.
The World Cup, to start next month, and the 2016 Summer Olympics are each expected to attract about 600,000 international visitors, notes the study just published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Some concerns have already been raised about the high rate of violent crime, and the potential for political unrest.
The authors stress that Brazil has made great progress in the last three decades in providing safe water, sanitary facilities and health care — reducing deaths from communicable illness — but say malaria and yellow fever remain endemic in parts of the country, while dengue fever has caused massive outbreaks recently.
To gauge what kind of disease threats foreigners face, researchers headed by Mary Wilson of Harvard University's School of Public Health looked at data from the GeoSentinel Surveillance Network, a sampling of travel-medicine clinics on six continents.
About 40% of the patients returning from Brazil over a 16-year period had skin conditions, the most common being cutaneous larva migrans, where tiny round worms penetrate the upper layer of skin and sometimes begin to move slowly under the surface, causing severe itchiness.
Next most common was diarrhea triggered by various pathogens, and then fever-causing illnesses like dengue and malaria.
Dengue, which is spread by mosquitos and usually causes little more than severe flu-like symptoms, is present throughout Brazil, especially in cities. Malaria is endemic in the northwest, covering two cities that will host World Cup matches.
Yellow fever, passed on by the same type of mosquito as dengue and killing about 7% of patients, may be the most serious infectious threat, though none of the Brazil travellers seen in the sentinel clinics had it. It is not considered a risk in the country's main coastal cities, but the study authors urge vaccination for yellow fever in areas further inland, which take in five World Cup and two Olympic sites.Fans planning to attend either event should first drop in to a travel-medicine clinic and obtain vaccinations or anti-malarial drugs, depending on where they plan to go, said Dr. Keystone. Once on the ground, they should be careful to use mosquito repellant, spurn tap water and limit eating of street-stall food, he said.
With such precautions, the vast majority will stay healthy, said the physician, who heartily recommends the cultural benefits of visiting less-developed parts of the world.
In fact, to put the infection threat in context, he said the most common way that foreign travelers die — accounting for 40% of fatalities — is in motor-vehicle accidents. Perhaps the most important health-protecting measure fans can take in Brazil is avoiding travelling by rural road at night, said Dr. Keystone.

"I want to explore different genres as a director" – Manish Mundra
Anish Mohanty
For years, Manish Mundra was a successful entrepreneur. He was far removed from the film industry but enjoyed watching cinema. An interesting turn of events led him towards producing his first film 'Aankhon Dekhi' which received widespread critical acclaim. Since then, he has produced several noteworthy films including 'Masaan', 'Waiting', 'Rukh', 'Kadvi Hawa', Har Kisse Ke Hisse: Kaamyaab' and 'Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi', among others.
After empowering several filmmakers and backing their vision as a producer, Manish has now taken an important step in his journey as a filmmaker by turning director with 'Siya'. The film deals with a very sensitive subject and features debutante Pooja Pandey in the titular role.
In this interview, he talks about the thought behind making 'Siya', the challenges he faced as a debutante director, what the society can do to bring down violent and criminal activities committed against women, what he plans to direct next and more.
In an interview, you described 'Siya' as a film that "deals with the hypocrisy behind crimes against women". The film deals with the grave issue of rape and sexual harassment. What made you pick this particular subject for your first film as a director?
At Drishyam Films, we have strived to make films that are rooted in India and deal with the issues plaguing our country. This was an issue that deeply disturbed me and I always wanted to make a film on this subject. I had reached out to some writers to write something on this subject but I wasn't very satisfied with the kind of material most people came up with. I took up the challenge to write a story on this subject myself. I wrote the screenplay along with Haider Rizvi and Samah.
It was a challenging subject and I wanted to define the subject and make the film in a manner I had envisioned it. The film deals with the issue of rape and it doesn't have any cuss words or provocative scene. I didn't want the film to have any element of sensationalism. I wanted to portray the human side of the story. My objective was to show what the victim and her family go through. The fight against injustice is very difficult and I wanted to portray it through this film.
Did you study real-life events while writing the script?
Yes, the film is an amalgamation of a bunch of incidents that I had read about.
The casting is quite interesting. While debutante Pooja Pandey plays the lead role, an important role is played by Vineet Kumar Singh who has done a lot of interesting work as an actor in the last few years.
Apart from Pooja, I knew that the rest of the actors would have secondary roles. Vineet is one of my favourite actors. I wanted him to play this particular role but was initially hesitant about approaching him as I felt it was not the kind of role that befitted an actor of his stature. After listening to the script, he was kind enough to say a yes. The character he plays had to have a certain stability to it and only somebody like Vineet could have done justice to it. Mukesh Chhabra is a dear friend of mine. I requested him to find somebody to play Siya. Pooja Pandey was one of the names he recommended her. When we auditioned her, we instantly knew that she was the right actor for this role.
With Vineet Kumar Singh, you had produced another film called 'Aadhaar'. The film was shot a long time ago. What is the status on it?
'Aadhaar' is a very important film with a big heart. We collaborated with Jio Studios on the film. Drishyam Films was in charge of developing and producing the film. We delivered the film to Jio Studios after completing it. We also got the Censor certificate for the film. I am not sure what happened but perhaps, there has been some miscommunication and because of that, the film is stuck. Jio Studios should be able to answer why the film has not been released yet.
You became a film producer almost by chance. You have successfully produced many acclaimed films over the years. As a director, you don't have any formal training. What did you do to prepare yourself to direct 'Siya'?
I was attracted to cinema from a very young age and immensely enjoyed the experience of watching films. Despite not being a part of the film industry and working elsewhere, I ended up becoming a film producer. I started producing films because of my love and passion for cinema. While living abroad, I got exposed to world cinema. When I would produce a film, I would oversee the work happening in different departments. I would speak to the technicians, learn from them and also offer my insights. Producing multiple films and being a part of the different processes involved in them gave me the confidence to become a director. It is true that I don't have a formal training in filmmaking. However, art is a vast subject and if your heart is in the right place, you can create something of value.
As a first-time director, which is the biggest challenge you faced?
The first challenge was to put together a good creative team. Sometimes, you get the wrong people on board and that results in the film going down. I was quite nervous during the first three days of the shoot. After that, things became easy. A lot of my creative hobbies helped me make this film. For instance, I paint a lot and that helped me in visualizing the scenes. We storyboarded the entire film. We shot the film during the second wave of Covid-19. That was another big challenge. While shooting, we took all the necessary safety measures. The entire team was very supportive.
Not just in India, rape cases are on the rise across the world. While making this film, you must have done a lot of research on this subject. Where, do you think, we are going wrong as a society?
Crimes against humanity are being committed since forever. Though there are laws in every country, crimes keep happening. Overpopulation, lower standard of living, poor quality of education and low income levels are some of the factors that have contributed towards the growth in such crimes globally. In the film, you will see that society had a chance to protect the girl. People didn't come forward to help her as they felt it was not their job. Less than one percent of such crimes are reported. Through this film, we want to awaken such people. As civilized human beings, it is our duty to report these crimes. We have a role to play towards eradicating these crimes.
Have you decided what you will be directing next?
Yes, I have finalized the script for my next film as a director. It will be a romantic film. I will start shooting it by December or January. I want to explore different genres as a director.

Defining workforce 2025
The workforce of tomorrow is beginning to take shape. Here are the six defining features of workforce 2025
There is no doubt that the presence of automation and AI within the workplace will have continued to increase over coming years, but humans will still be integral to business operations. This being said, influenced by digitalisation, demographic change, and evolving social values, the typical workforce of 2025 will have distinct differences to those of today.
Here are the six defining features of the future workforce:
1. Internal crowdsourcing will replace much outsourcing
Empowered by globalisation, the future human workforce will be more decentralised and globally distributed than ever before. Nonetheless, through the use of digital tools, such as unified communications ,all end-users across an organisation will be available to contribute and offer their expertise on a project in real-time, regardless
2. Open collaboration will benefit all
With a greater ability to communicate across the entire global organisation, workforce 2025 will promote a culture of open sharing and collaboration between colleagues. Better dialogue within the workforce will see problems remedied far quicker, and issues that are directly created by a lack of communication will have less of an impact.
Internal communications platforms will become valuable resources to businesses, by enabling the workforce to share information and contribute to discussions with ease and speed.
3. Fully flexible and responsive
Enabled by digital technologies, workforce 2025 will be completely flexible, with individuals fulfilling their roles from any place, at any time. Connecting from personal as well as organisational devices, the future workforce will be able to instantly react to new opportunities and unforeseen circumstances.
Businesses will see widespread benefits from enabling a fully mobile workforce, no more so than attracting the best talent to the organisation. By 2025, flexible working will be seen as an essential, not a benefit, and will be a determining factor when people assess potential employers.
4. Integration, across cultures and generations
As various cultures continue to integrate within single societies, the workforce will in turn become similarly diverse. The workforce of the future will be built around a global mindset – intercultural awareness, and respect for the differences that exist between religions and nationalities.
Today there are five generations in the workplace. By 2025, it will be imperative for businesses to effectively manage the differences that ensue from this generational diversity. With every voice heard and respected, workforce 2025 will be empowered from maximising the individual qualities of each generation.
5. Individual values will replace the collective
Driven by the influence of social media and personal branding, workforce 2025 will consist of individuals on their own chosen path, rather than a path chosen for them by their employer. Coined as the protean career, the future worker's professional life will be managed, defined, and evaluated from their own subjective perspective.
Self-fulfilment and psychological factors that are unique to the individual will become the ultimate measures of success, rather than external measures such as salary or promotions. Businesses will have to prioritise meaningful work in order to satisfy and retain their staff.
6. Continuous learning will be paramount
Workforce 2025 will find fulfilment through self-improvement, and by learning and developing new skills. Single, vertical careers based around one discipline will come less popular, with workers instead favouring the option to have multiple careers and focuses, due to an increased life expectancy and retirement age. Businesses will have to develop an infrastructure that enables staff to broaden their abilities, and move horizontally within the business with greater ease.
The desire to continually develop skills will also be influenced by the pressures of technological development. Automation and AI will become increasingly commonplace in the workplace – replacing human staff at times. As a result, workers will have to become more agile and adaptable in their careers to remain relevant and useful.
These may be features that define the workforce of 2025, but that doesn't mean to say that none are occurring in workplaces today – change is already happening, and accelerating.
Smart businesses will push forward and take the initiative by embracing aspects of workforce 2025, today. Embracing the future of work will guarantee a more adaptive and reactive workforce, ensuring that your business remains relevant in a changing world.

University of Leiden
The University of Leiden in the city of Leiden, is the oldest still existing university in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1575 by Prince William of Orange, leader of the Dutch revolt in the Eighty Years' War, as a reward for the heroic defence of the previous year against Spanish attacks, the tradition being that the citizens were offered the choice between a university and a certain exemption from taxes.
Originally located in the convent of St Barbara, the university was removed in 1581 to the convent of the White Nuns, the site of which it still occupies, though that building was destroyed in 1616.
The presence within half a century of the date of its foundation of such scholars as Justus Lipsius, Joseph Scaliger, Franciscus Gomarus, Hugo Grotius, Jacobus Arminius, Daniel Heinsius and Guardas Johannes Vossius, at once raised Leiden university to the highest European fame, a position which the learning and reputation of Jacobus Gronovius, Herman Boerhaave, Tiberius Hemsterhuis and David Ruhnken, among others, enabled it to maintain down to the end of the 18th century.
The portraits of many famous professors since the earliest days hang in the university aula, one of the most memorable places, as Niebuhr called it, in the history of science. The university library contains upwards of 190,000 volumes and 6000 manuscripts and pamphlet portfolios, and is very rich in Oriental and Greek manuscripts and old Dutch travels.
Among the institutions connected with the university are the national institution for East Indian languages, ethnology and geography; the fine botanical gardens, founded in 1587; the observatory (1860); the natural history museum, with a very complete anatomical cabinet; the museum of antiquities (Museum van Oudheden), with specially valuable Egyptian and Indian departments; a museum of Dutch antiquities from the earliest times; and three ethnographical museums, of which the nucleus was P. F. von Siebold's Japanese collections. The anatomical and pathological laboratories of the university are modern, and the museums of geology and mineralogy have been restored.

REGIONAL FINALS: 16-titillate vs. 14-warbled « Think, Kid, Think!
to find a book to read.
but it was impossible to succeed.
that litter all the jackets.
I want to get a book.
I'd pick one if I could.
And chocolate banana ice cream.
And she screams and she screams and she screams.
Concede to Girlzilla each day.
Was a goose in a bright yellow cape!
And gobbled that goose – now deceased.
GET OUT THE VOTE. The average pairing in Round 1 generated 154 votes. The average pairing in Round 2 generated 178 votes. The average pairing in Round 3 generated 224 votes. A nice trend! Use the share buttons below and mention the madness wherever you go so that these poems reach more kids! And remember, encourage voting on EVERY MATCHUP, not just this one!
Thanks Peter. That's a right doozy you have there with "titillate". I tried getting Ed to tell you not to complain – as I thought it wasn't as bad as the "innuendo" he hit me with in Round One! But he reckons this is harder. And I expect he's right. Good luck dude!
This is a really fun word pair-up. Good luck to both of you.
Good luck to you both. I am glad they're not my words. Wow.
O – kay… I'm sure Stephen is warbling raucous joy that titillate is not his word! I'm equally sure that you'll both command the language and the form in another tight match-up!
Totally jealous of these words! I titillate and warble in anticipation!
These were some tricky words, gentlemen, and you took them on in style! Peter – how smart of you to choose book jackets as your vehicle for "titillate," and I know that find-a-book-feeling. Stephen – "Girlzilla Gorilla" cracks me up, and you're bringing both ice cream and goose to the potluck!
What a terrific match-up! Well done, gentlemen.
Nicely done on two tricky words. And Ed… stop teasing us. You know we all say "bring it on!" Or we cower. I think it depends if we've slept well or not….
I had to look up at least one-quarter of the 80 words provided.
The word "genital" appears in one of the definitions.
Oh Greg, you just wait! I had such fun going through the list. Narrowed it down to my top 7 and then it was tough. It will be a bloody round when those words are used.
Cower. I've seen the words!
Hey, Ed. I think it would be interesting to see some stats on how serious poems did as opposed to funny ones. And how older audience poems went up against the younger. Just a thought for your statistically poetic brain.
I actually have some stats along these lines, but I decided not to share them because I did not want to influence people's writing mid-tournament. I will post them afterwards. The data will be a bit more robust then, anyways.
Transporting me into a character?
I could really see this as a great learning ground for poets, teachers, and students alike. What do kids/parents/teachers enjoy about poetry, and what do they want from it? What reaction should poets expect from readers given the type of poetry they write?
Thankfully, starting down this path does not require all-out madness. A steady drip of poems, votes, comments, and reader evaluations (TKT "Monday Matchups", anyone?) can be built over time. We need not rely only on new/original poems, either. Any poems that are visible to the public can be used as the basis for evaluation and comparison.
This sounds like a great plan, Ed! I never considered the pairing of poetry with data collection, but I'm liking it. And I'm in for Monday Match-ups!
I love the idea of data collection too, Ed. Hmmm…you could always use the poems already posted here as a trial.
Love the idea of Monday Match-ups!
Love the idea of Monday Matchups!
My brother and I are starting a "Manic Monday" on my blog because each round he would write a poem and send it to me using the word I was up against..we decided we like playing poems off each other and my friends are dying for more poetry! I'd look forward to Monday if there were more poems involved!
One thing to think about in the future is judging in two categories: one for younger, one for older students. 7-15 is a pretty broad range.
Also, it's possible that a student could use his/her work on the website as part of a a class project and get credit from the teacher. And huge thanks from us!
Aghhh! Who ever would think titillate a suitable word for a kid-friendly poem? For the sheer cruelty of that choice… well, I thought it was very well swatted. Loved Girlzilla too. Today's rounds (think this is the last pair) have really exercised my brain.
HUZZAH to you once again, Peter! You nailed it and got my vote. My students, however, went for the goofiness of the Girlzilla Gorilla eating everything in sight!
Hi Mary Lee, I've been getting great feedback from kids too. Ranging in age from 4 to 10. I'm curious, how old are your students?
Great dodge, Peter. Really impressed with you deflection skills! But Stephen, your rhythm and rhyme was fantastic – and your story funny. I can't go past it.
Thanks so much Kathryn. It's for younger kids but everyone seems to get right giggle out of it! It still makes me laugh too! Looks like this is gonna a be tight one. peters one is very cleverly done.
I find that I start to read all these poems by looking for the challenge word, but become so engaged in the poem that I forget what word I'm looking for and finish without finding it.
Very impressed by all of the poems in the "Elite Eight"!
Many congratulations to both Peter and Stephen, for making us laugh and think! All best to you both for National Poetry Month…hope we really do have a potluck!
Oh my gosh this has been such a fun competition. Wish I'd heard about it earlier. Will certainly look out for it if it runs again. Well done everyone, I've really enjoyed all your amazing poetry.
Congrats, Stephen. Good luck in the Final Four!


Baba Ramdev ji had said in the following 3-5 years, I have set an objective of Rs 20,000 crore to Rs 25,000 crore turnover .Does Patanjali the fastest growing growing (FMCG) Can complete the task or not lets start the information which I had collected for you.
Is Baba Ramdev's Patanjali wearing out in its race to Rs 20,000 crore complete line.
Ramdev: "In the following 3-5 years, I have set an objective of Rs 20,000 crore to Rs 25,000 crore turnover for my organization. We will leave the multinational organizations in our residue; that is our open motivation."
Yoga master Baba Ramdev, who considers himself a brand minister of Patanjali Ayurved, has set for the organization an eager target—Rs 20,000 crore in yearly incomes.
The organization that began as a little drug store rapidly developed to challenge multinational FMCG monsters as it ventured into various items. It's income for 2016-17 crossed Rs 10,000 crore from about Rs 500 crore only six years prior.
Ramdev said rearward in April that Patanjali was taking a shot at a solitary point motivation of catching 25-half piece of the overall industry in the Indian customer advertise from multinational firms. "In the following 3-5 years, I have set an objective of Rs 20,000 crore to Rs 25,000 crore turnover for my organization. We will leave the multinational organizations in our residue, that is our open motivation," he said.
In any case, it appears the organization is as of now huffing and puffing on its way to the Rs 20,000 crore complete line. "We have shut the year around indistinguishable level from the past monetary year's income,Acharya balakrishna overseeing executive of Patanjali, said in a meeting to Mint.
Patanjali had detailed income of Rs 10,561 crore for the year finished 31 March 2017, more than twofold the Rs 5,000 crore in the earlier year.
The development slide from over 100% to about zero can mean the backing off of Patanjali. Be that as it may, Acharya Balkrishna credited it to waiting impacts of the demonetisation and the usage of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
He said the organization put its vitality in creating foundation and production network amid the year. It concentrated on framework advancement, and not simply income development. Or then again Patnajali could be wearing out from the singing development it has enrolled in the course of recent years.
From a little drug store only 10 years prior, Patanjali has now turned into a FMCG monster on the back of a few items.
For example, Dairy animals' ghee, Dant Kanti toothpaste, Ayurvedic meds, keshkanti cleanser and a few sorts of cleansers.
Patanjali started testing the predominance of multinationals after its organization with the Pittie Group around four years after the organization chose to offer past its elite system of Arogya Kendras and Chikitsalayas.
In 2012, the Pittie Group started dispersing Patanjali items when all is said in done exchange. After two years, it took the items to current exchange as well. Patanjali truly arrived when Aditya Pittie likewise started providing items to a major retail chains like Reliance Retail, Spencer's and Dmart.
When they began, Ramdev and his associate Acharya Balkrishan were composed off as swadeshi evangelists working for the most part in pockets of hinterland for a select shopper fragment.
Be that as it may, with their shrewd negotiating prudence, they beat numerous FMCG goliaths to develop as challengers to the pioneer, Hindustan Unilever.
Patanjali takes quick decision. i think it's most amazing think is he takes risk also wheather there products are like by consumers or not.

Alexander (Sandy) Rower, a grandson of Alexander Calder, takes a photograph off his corkboard. It's of three young men in a vaulted hall of the Miro Foundation in Barcelona, Spain. At Mr. Rower's elbow are Joan Punyet Miro and Manus Sweeney, one the grandson of the artist, the other the grandson of the eminent critic and curator James Johnson Sweeney.
And what problems are those?
''They're secret,'' he says slyly.
But not really. A glance around Mr. Rower's orderly offices vividly evokes the unbearable clutter of remembrance. Against the back wall of this low-ceilinged Colonial attic in the heart of town, bookshelves and cardboard boxes disgorge letters, notes, catalogues, photographs and memorabilia of one of the really famous grandfathers of modern art. A table holds a slew of stray documents.
In adjacent rooms, fireproof filing cabinets secure a neatly catalogued, cross-referenced mountain of memories. Within manila folders, Alexander Calder, James Johnson Sweeney and Joan Miro smile at the camera in long-vanished friendship.
''We're Calder Central, and we have 100,000 pieces of paper,'' says Mr. Rower.
It's a burden Mr. Rower has willingly assumed. Since 1987, when he was 24, he has been the sole editor of the Alexander Calder catalogue raisonne and head of the Alexander and Louisa Calder Foundation, which was created to produce it. In effect, he is the final arbiter on issues of authenticity.
The exhibition ''Alexander Calder: 1898-1976,'' which contains 250 works and opens at the National Gallery of Art in Washington next Sunday, the centennial of the artist's birth, has been shaped by its association with the Calder archives.
The show's curator, Marla Prather, made extended forays to Woodstock and with Mr. Rower pored through the 16,000 works in the archives. The exhibition, which begins with pieces from 1909 when Calder was 11 years old, will be especially rich in the work of the 30's and 40's, emphasizing the flush of enthusiasm that inspired the ethereal wire sculptures, the witty circus figures and those gaily soaring mobiles. ''I want to make things that are fun to look at, that have no propaganda value whatsoever,'' Calder declared, and he make good on it.
He pulls out pictures of the kitchen in the Calder house in Roxbury, Conn. It's a large, warm room jammed with Calder handcrafts: a cupboard fashioned from art crates, a tray hammered from a flattened olive-oil can, a rack of spiraling wire grills. Half a dozen friends share the table with the Calder clan.
The feast moved whenever Calder and his wife Louisa did. In New York, the Calders stayed with the Rowers: Mary Calder Rower and her husband, Howard, a real-estate developer, and their sons.
Calder had begun his career in Paris in the 20's and later kept a house in Sache, in the Loire valley, a magnet for the Rowers, who bunked with Calder's other daughter, Sandra, her husband, Jean Davidson, and Shawn. A short dirt path led through vineyards to the Calder house and studio and a yard bristling with spiky stabiles.
When paradise is lost, its absence can fill a life. After his grandfather's death, Mr. Rower chose not to enter college. Instead, he set up his own photography studio in New York, partly to document Calder works for exhibition catalogues. With his brother, he began restoring Calder sculptures and consulting for conservators, something they had been doing informally since they were teen-agers.
Creating the archive galvanized Mr. Rower. He and Holton (who has since left the project and gone back to his own painting) ransacked their mother's Rolodex for the names of family friends who might have letters, papers or art. They wrote to museums and dealers. And they searched all the houses and studios, digging in attics and filing cabinets.
Pulling out a French cookie tin stamped Punchs, Mr. Rower points to the pile of letters in it. ''I have dozens of these tins,'' he says. ''I don't even know what's in this one. Those papers are from the end of my grandfather's life, when he was eating these cookies. They are much less important for me than the earliest papers,'' which he has already filed.
The bonds among grandchildren have helped bring Miro's and Sweeney's papers into the archive. ''Each generation of famous artists' families has particular issues in common,'' Mr. Rower explains.
Yet stress is not what his face shows; rather, guarded strength and perhaps a flicker of steely defender's resolve.

Monarrez: Let me show you the Detroit Lions' path to the Super Bowl
Carlos Monarrez
This happened 10 years ago. I had just finished covering the Detroit Lions' 31-24 loss to the New York Jets at the Meadowlands in 2006. The Lions had fallen to 1-6 and appeared headed to another terrible season. (They finished 3-13. Another lost season amid a seemingly endless sea of lost seasons.)
A few Detroit reporters shared a cab back to the hotel. One veteran writer who had witnessed decades of failure said, "This team has just never had any luck."
It was my first year covering the Lions. I thought it wasn't true. It couldn't be true. It was just the whiny rhetoric of a tired sports writer.
That is, after all, kind of our thing.
But the guy was right. And I've thought a lot about that in the decade since. There just hasn't been a season in which things broke right a lot more often than they broke wrong for the Lions. They've never had that magical year of luck. Next year will mark the 60th anniversary of their last championship. Sixtieth!
Look, I grew up in Los Angeles, and we had our version of the Lions. In fact, we had three versions of the Lions. They were called the Rams, the Angels and the Kings. I figured if you couldn't win a Super Bowl with Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen and Eric Dickerson, a World Series with Nolan Ryan, Rod Carew and Reggie Jackson, nor a Stanley Cup with Wayne Gretzky, Larry Robinson and Luc Robitaille, you just weren't going to win. Ever.
Then the Rams turned a grocery store stock boy into a Super Bowl MVP quarterback. The Angels found the Rally Monkey. The Kings turned to a new coach during the season and won their first Cup as a No. 8 seed.
So what about this year, the year of miracle comebacks? The Cavaliers, the Cubs, the election. The Lions? It seems like anything is possible. Preseason predictions? Exit polls? Does anything really mean anything anymore?
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers finally has regressed to being human, the Minnesota Vikings' offense is being held together by duct tape and a staple gun, the Chicago Bears are the Bears.
So in the past few days, I've conducted extensive exit polling — and even a little entrance polling. I've constructed several probabilistic models and mostly have avoided getting glue on my hands. And I can confidently report the following: I see a path for the Lions to get to the Super Bowl.
• Nov. 20 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars. The Lions win, 20-17, and improve to 6-4. Jalen Ramsey holds Marvin Jones to negative-1 receptions. When reporters ask Lions coach Jim Caldwell how that's possible, Caldwell just shakes his head, smiles and says, "I know you guys have to ask these questions, but we can't get everyone the ball."
• Nov. 24 vs. Minnesota Vikings. Hey, man, Aretha Franklin is singing the national anthem, and the Lions ain't gonna lose to no stinkin' Vikings on Thanksgiving in front of the Queen! All right? ALL RIGHT? Lions improve to 7-4.
• Dec. 4 at New Orleans Saints. The Saints have Drew Brees, beignets and a terrible defense. Sorry, Ain'ts. Lions win, 30-28, and improve to 8-4.
• Dec. 11 vs. Chicago Bears. Jay Cutler — I just threw up in my mouth a little after typing that. Lions win, 27-9, and improve to 9-4. Football party decorations start to disappear from Detroit stores.
• Dec. 18 at New York Giants. The train finally stops. Eli Manning puts on a blindfold, trips and throws a Hail Mary as time expires to beat the Lions, 20-17. The Lions drop to 9-5.
• Dec. 26 at Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott throws four touchdowns, but league and game officials are late leaving Stephen Jones' party bus before the game and only see three of the TDs. Matthew Stafford yells "home cookin'!" at the crowd. 'Boys win, 30-17. Lions drop to 9-6.
• Jan. 1 vs. Green Bay Packers. This time, it's Stafford who makes the 60-yard javelin throw into the end zone. Eric Ebron catches the last-second touchdown for a 27-23 win. The Lions finish 10-6 and win the NFC North. The entire Lower Peninsula calls in sick Monday morning.
• Playoffs. The Lions are the No. 4 seed. They beat the Giants in the wild-card round, upset the Cowboys in the divisional round and beat the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC title game, when Golden Tate scores the winning touchdown by doing cartwheels into the end zone, followed by an interpretive dance that would make Isadora Duncan proud.
• Feb. 5 vs. New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI at Houston. Before the game, Lions general manager Bob Quinn finds Tom Brady and offers an enthusiastic, "Hi, Tom! Good luck today!" To which Brady responds with a blank look and an uncertain, "Hey, you." The Patriots pull it out, 45-10. Commissioner Roger Goodell can't hand Brady the Lombardi Trophy because he's "stuck in an elevator." The Lions sign Caldwell to a five-year extension two days later.
The next season, in the 60th anniversary of their 1957 NFL championship, the Lions finish 3-13.

Dusty Miller (1978) Accession 1991-03, Item 113. Courtesy of the City of Thunder Bay Archives.
Eleanor Joan (Dusty) Miller
Date of birth: August 3, 1929, Fort William, Ontario
Date of death: February 14, 2012, Thunder Bay, Ontario
Accomplishments related to: Municipal Government; Theatre, Arts, and Culture; Community Development
Major affiliations: Police Commission, Board of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities of Ontario, City's Community Service Committee, Thunder Bay Non-Profit Housing Corporation, Children's Aid Society, Library Board, Social Planning Council, Theatre Northwest/Magnus Theatre, The Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra, Thunder Bay Art Gallery, Community Auditorium, Theatre Ontario, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Lakehead University's Board of Governors
Dusty Miller's involvement with the municipal government of Thunder Bay stemmed from her advocacy for the arts. Although her career change from the arts community to municipal politics seems like a stark transition, to her it was quite natural. In an interview with Paula Thiessen of Bayview Magazine, Miller stated, "I ran for council deliberately because I always had to go to council for assistance. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have some kind of spokesperson who could speak knowledgeably about the arts. I have to say that the councils of Thunder Bay were quite open." In 1974, Miller became an alderman.
Upon realizing that the city's government lacked expertise in arts and culture, and having only been a member of council for four years, Miller decided to run for Mayor. Concurrently, Miller was instrumental in developing an arts policy for the city: she was the first chair of the city's Arts and Heritage Committee, and also served on standing committees for family and children's services, non-profit housing, and architectural conservation. In 1978, she was elected, and Dusty Miller became Thunder Bay's first female Mayor, post amalgamation. She served from 1978-1980. After her mayoral term, Miller left politics. Five years later, she returned as a City Councillor and served the city until 1991.
Miller was born and raised in Fort William, moved away for a time, and returned to the Lakehead in 1954. It was then that she became involved in community development, specifically with the local theatre community. For nine years, she served as the Artistic Director for Cambrian Players (then the Port Arthur Community Players), directing twenty-six plays and nine musicals. She helped Burton Lancaster set up Magnus Theatre. She taught theatre and television arts in local high schools, designed and co-directed the drama program for the Fine Arts Division at Lakehead University, and taught courses in the Performing Arts Management Program at Confederation College. She also participated as a founding member of Theatre Ontario, and was part of a group of people that established the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium.
Some of Miller's awards include the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal, Canada 125 Medal, Northwestern Ontario Business Award for Influential Women, the Maggie Bassett Award, the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium President's Award, the Order of Ontario, Lakehead University Alumni Honour Award and Lakehead University Fellow.
